DESCRIPTION:Speakers Include:\nKirstin Roberts: Pre-school teacher picket captain and
Chicago Teachers Union rank and file activist.*\nSal Rosselli: President of
the National Union of Health Care Workers.* \nLarry Bradshaw: Third Vice
President, Service Employees International Union Local 1021.*\nDavid
Russitano, San Francisco teacher, member of United Educators of San
Francisco and Educators for a Democratic Union. *\n\n*Organizational
affiliations listed for identification only.\n\nFor decades, politicians
and bosses have forced working people to accept layoffs, increased
healthcare costs, and no job security as a fact of life. Despite the
massive fight in Wisconsin, organized labor was unable to turn back the
assault on workers' rights. Chicago teachers, however, refused to give in
to Rahm Emanuel's attack on labor and public education. Instead, they built
solidarity with community activists against racism and inequality. Their
nine day strike drove back the school privatization agenda and showed the
way for a democratic, fighting union to take on the bosses and politicians
of either party. Workers have rediscovered their most important
weapons—the strike and solidarity. \n\nThis public forum will feature
union members and activists. We'll discuss what the Chicago Teachers Union
struggle shows us about the power of working class people to challenge the
profit system, hear updates on local union struggles, and ultimately what
it will take to rebuild a fighting workers' movement capable of building a
better world. \n\nA reception and party will follow the
meeting.\n\nSponsored by:\nInternational Socialist Organization \nPlease
